Ticket deal for May races ‘til 9 p.m. today
It took Atlanta Motor Speedway just 15 minutes to sell 1,000 at $17 each Monday morning to mark Matt Kenseth’s Daytona 500 victory in the No. 17 Ford.
Now Lowe’s Motor Speedway is stepping up with a Kenseth-related offer. From 5 to 9 p.m. today, the Charlotte track will sell five tickets to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600 at the special price of five for $50. That offer is good for the first 1,700 tickets sold in that four-hour period.
“Matt won his first Cup race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and now he’s notched another special win with the Daytona 500,” said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Lowe’s Motor Speedway. “In honor of his season-opening win in the No. 17, we’re keeping our ticket office open late.”
The tickets are in the Jewel Box and Toyota Fourth Turn Terrace grandstands. Tickets are available at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway ticket office from 5 - 9 p.m. or by calling (800) 455-FANS or (800) 455-3267. The first 50 fans who purchase the “5 for $50” special at the ticket office will receive a Matt Kenseth die-cast collectible car.
